the defensive marriage act has been declared unconstitutional by a number of federal courts and appeals from those judgments are now before the supreme court not part by the government because the obama administration also believes that that was unconstitutional but also brought by the house of representatives which has a right to defend an act of congress that the president chooses not to defend, and i think it is a sure bet the court is going to undertake a review of the defensive marriage act again because there are judgments on the books of the lower court saying that it's unconstitutional. so again, that kind of agenda setting function, what we are to be hearing about and the beating and talking about and also getting a decision and it really lies within the power of the court under appreciated power because one thing it raises is how do the justices know what's important? how do they know what the should be deciding? obviously when people bring their appeal to the supreme court they lay out the case and the format of one of the petitions to the court decides that 30 page is to mak

they had to change the story is the number times. and it is clear that the withholding of evidence, congressional investigators have identified some 70,000 pages of documents responsive to their request. >> host: they don't feel they've got them all this? >> guest: they've only got 70,000. it's an incredible number. so with a subpoena issued, lawfully they only had two choices that could turn over the documents, which if the documents are exculpatory like they say, frankly why not turn over the documents in the scandal? instead, they did something unusual, something very nixon like and which is the extension of executive privilege. executive privilege usually protects the president and director geysers they can offer candid advice. usually that is outside the scope of congressional investigations. and of course pending national security or criminal cases. but those are the three reasons why generally you get to deny subpoena. they are just trying to cover holder. now look at the complex relationship between eric holder and the presid

of campaigns, the dean campaign and the bush campaign in 04 and the obama campaign in 08 that have had a real volunteer culture and i don't think those things are in conflict. so i think that campaigns are recognizing that because they are targeting better and that because these person-to-person human interactions actually do make a difference, that they can use, they can direct the time of their volunteers more effectively. campaigns are integrating the two in a way that makes them sort of self-supporting and not in conflict with one another so i think that is what you will see on sidewalks and all of the obama field offices opening up, campaign using advanced techniques and lots of data that they have spent quite handsomely for but it's all in the service of figuring out who you get your volunteers to talk to and when and about what? that is one of the things that when i look back at the decade-long period i write about in the book it's heartening that i think it's precisely, everyone wants to see this moment in politics. they know more about you and they know more about what moves y
